And what should be the benefit of that?
If tor works right, there is none, if it doesn't there wouldn't be any
either, when you "not leave it" when you hit the hidden service.

Wild guess: Marketing & hype
Why do google/Yahoo/MS/whatsapp, etc. propagate their "cool" crypto
stuff, which is actually useless in the end?
People feel good.

I think there's a lot difference between that, which works on the
client side, and what we'd need on the server side.
We share all keys, and every single update... this hughe pile of data
flow possibly makes it way easier for an attacker... than the few 100
or perhaps 1000 keys a normal user may have.
